Snyder Industries 6500 Gallon 30 Degree Plastic Cone Bottom Tank

Seven hundred more pounds of wall in the same ninety inch circle

Buy this one for the rating. The shell is the same 90 inch by 273 inch envelope as the lighter 6,500 gallon listings, which means the stand, the pad, the building and the crane are the same problem; what changes is that the sheet rates this wall at a specific gravity of 1.9 and lists it at 2,800 pounds empty rather than 2,100. That is the whole difference the sheet shows, and it is the difference that decides the purchase when the product going in is heavier than water. Where it sits and how it is held up is unchanged and still governs the job. A cone bottom tank has no flat floor to stand on, and this sheet publishes no stand, no legs and no skirt, so the support arrangement is specified separately and before the order rather than after delivery. Ninety inches across carrying 273 inches of height is a slender column by any measure, so it belongs inside a structure, against a braced frame or on a foundation and restraint design done for your site and your wind exposure. Indoors, check the ceiling, the door and the lift before anything else, because a twenty-three foot vessel is set upright once. The loads are the reason to be careful rather than approximate: 2,800 pounds empty, 54,210 pounds full of water, and 102,999 pounds at the rating this sheet publishes, all arriving through a stand into a small circle of floor. That is a foundation designed by an engineer, not a pad poured to suit. Work the volume and the turnover through the tank sizing calculator before the structure is drawn around it, and take the freeboard from the tank sizing guide; on a heavy product in a tall column, the headspace you leave is also the margin you keep. Where the vessel stands over ground or a floor that would have to be recovered after a release, the Captor containment comparison is the honest version of the containment argument.

Heavier shell, same height: reading the sixty-five hundred family

Read the weight column and then the volume column, because in this family the volume column barely moves. Four listings hold 6,500 gallons in the identical 90 by 273 inch envelope and they are listed at 2,800, 2,800, 2,100 and 2,100 pounds. This tank is one of the two heavy listings, and the reason to buy a heavy listing is that the sheet rates it for a heavier product: a rating of 1.9 here, where the lighter listings in this group carry a lower one. Nothing else in that comparison is stated by the sheet, so nothing else is stated here. If your product is heavier than water, start with the rating and let it choose the part number for you. If it is not, the lighter listings do the same job in the same space and there is no merit in buying wall you will never load. The two wide tanks at the bottom of the table are the genuine alternative rather than a variant. 5280200N40 holds 6,000 gallons in a 142 inch plan at 136 inches tall and 1,100 pounds, and SII-5320100N43 holds 7,400 gallons on the same plan at 160 inches and 1,600 pounds. Either of them replaces a very tall column with a squat one at a lower empty weight, and either of them needs a much larger circle of ground. Height against footprint is the only question in this family that is really yours to answer; the sheet answers the rest.

An eighteen inch vented manway at the top of a tall cone

• The discharge: no outlet size and no bulkhead is published on this sheet. The cone ends in a discharge and the sheet does not dimension it, so no number appears here. Give us the line size, the valve and the product, and we will confirm what this part number carries before it is ordered.
• Supporting what hangs below: the valve, any reducer and the first run of pipe are carried on steelwork off the stand, not off the cone. On a tank rated for a heavy product, the static load on that joint at the end of a full column is the thing that punishes a hanging valve.
• Angle and flow: the name gives 30 degrees and the sheet gives no cone angle field. A shallower cone drains a free-flowing liquid cleanly and holds onto material that packs, which is a real consideration on a heavy or solids-bearing product. The cone angle selection buyer's guide sets the angles against each other.
• The manway: 18 inches, threaded and vented, on the top of a 273 inch tank. That is a platform, a fixed ladder and a fall protection plan, designed alongside the stand rather than added after the tank is standing. It is also the only opening this sheet publishes.
• The vent: a vented manway is the wall's protection while a pump draws the column down. Inspect it on a schedule, keep it clear, and never restrict it to control an odour; there are better ways to do that and none of them involve the vent.
• The stand: not on this sheet. Nothing here describes a leg, a skirt, a ring or a bolt pattern, and the cone bottom stand compatibility matrix is where that question is worked through across makers before you commit.
• Limits: 120 F / 48 C, a specific gravity rating of 1.9, and a 3 Year Warranty.

Tell us the product and its density when you order, because on this tank the density is the point. The rating on the sheet is what makes this the part number rather than one of its lighter twins, and matching it properly is the difference between a vessel sized for the job and one sized for the drawing.

Heavy liquor, slurry and the density that decides it

A 1.9 rated cone at this volume is bought where the product weighs more than water and still has to leave through the bottom: concentrated mineral and salt solutions, heavy liquid fertiliser blends, thickened sludge and dewatering duties at treatment works, mining and wash plant slurries, spent acid and pickling liquor in a metals plant, and process intermediates in chemical manufacturing that carry solids in suspension. Those duties share two problems. The first is weight, and the sheet answers it with a rating rather than a promise. The second is that heavy product settles, which is what the cone is for, and settling is also what makes a shallow cone work harder. Where the material packs rather than pours, say so when you enquire, because the honest answer may be a steeper angle rather than a stronger wall, and we would rather send you to the right shape than sell you this one.

Nebraska, oversize, and 2,800 pounds shipped

This tank is moulded at Lincoln, Nebraska, and the sheet lists Nebraska as the state it ships from. The freight class reads OVS, an oversize mode rather than a numeric class, under NMFC 156600, and the sheet's ship dimensions read 90 inches long by 273 inches wide by 273 inches high against a tank listed 90 inches across and 273 inches tall; both are printed as given. Price the lane to your ZIP with the freight cost estimator; the listed price is before freight. At 2,800 pounds and twenty-three feet this is a scheduled oversize movement with a route, a window and an unloading plan agreed before it leaves the plant, and the equipment to lift it has to be standing on your site when the trailer arrives, not ordered when it does. Have the stand built, the foundation cured and the restraint ready. Set it, secure it, then fill it with clean water and hold that 54,210 pound load while somebody reads the manway seal, the discharge joint, the stand and the foundation in that order. Look at the tank again with the water still in it after a full day and a full night, because on a slender column the thing that moves is rarely the tank and always the ground beneath it. Tape a copy of the spec sheet inside the control panel door; the next person to touch the tank will not have the box it came in.
